Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1356

In this era, being able to have oil in the dishes was a luxury. So when they saw her bringing over fried food, Mother Zhang was surprised. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

Lu Jueyu placed the tray on the table and said, "Aunt Zhang, these are the appetizers for the banquet. Vegetable and mushroom potstickers, and chicken spring rolls."

"There are two sauces that can go with the appetizers. This is the soy ginger sauce to go with the potstickers. As for the fried spring rolls, they go with the hoisin sauce. It's made from soybeans, garlic, vinegar, and some spices."

Hearing her explanations, Liu Hua looked at her and said, "Jueyu ah, you took great effort to prepare these."

"Sister Liu Hua, it's Ah Li and Jianmin who did everything. I'm just giving some instructions on the side," Lu Jueyu replied with a chuckle.

Everyone was amazed by the boys' cooking skills and picked up their chopsticks. They tasted the food carefully and kept nodding.

Not to mention that it was fried—the ingredients used to make these dishes were fresh and delicious. With the addition of Dong Li and Chen Jianmin's skills, the dishes tasted better than those sold in the state-owned restaurants.

After they finished tasting, Lu Jueyu asked, "Sister Liu Hua, Brother-in-law, which one do you like better?"

Liu Piao thought about the cost of the ingredients and said, "I like the potstickers more. The vegetables and mushrooms are fresh and delicious. It balances the greasiness."

Zhang Ermu knew that she was concerned about the cost. He glanced at her and said, "I prefer the spring rolls. Combined with the sauce, it increases the appetite."

When Lu Jueyu heard their opinions, she smiled and suggested, "Since Sister Liu Piao likes the vegetable and mushroom filling while Brother-in-law likes the dipping sauce, how about we combine the dish?"

Seeing their confusion, she continued, "We can use the potsticker's filling to make spring rolls and serve them with hoisin sauce."

Liu Piao nodded and said, "This is a good idea. We will do it like this."

"Okay," Lu Jueyu nodded and made a note in her heart.

She brought the empty plates to the kitchen and brought out the lotus root pork soup. She served half a bowl to each of them to taste. Everyone nodded with satisfaction after tasting the rich yet refreshing soup.

After serving the appetizers and soup, Chen Jianmin and Dong Li brought out the main dishes. Egg fried rice, squirrel mandarin fish, braised eggplants, lionhead meatballs, and spinach-almond salad.

The fried rice was served in a small bowl, and the dishes were served on small plates. Only the squirrel mandarin fish was served whole.

After they served the dishes, the two of them returned to the kitchen to prepare the desserts.

Lu Jueyu stayed in the living room and told them the ingredients used, how to prepare the dishes, and other options to replace the ingredients if they didn't like them.
